Description:

August 17 is National Thriftshop Day - a day for a real bargain. "Thriftshops" is an old term for stores that sell items deeply discounted merchandise. It's not always the highest quality, but the price is right. You know these stores better today as discount department stores and dollar stores.

Find something that you can repurpose for your 18" doll (bowl, plate, clothes,basket, hat, game, etc.) and send it to your partner. You can shop ahead of time but you might want to watch for sales and specials at your local Thriftshops in celebration of National Thriftshop Day.

I have been looking for something to buy for this swap and I am embarrassed to say everything I have found I have to keep for myself lol....

I MUST keep looking or maybe I will just narrow down my new doll thrift store buys to what I REALLY want! haha... I am terrible

@Dacia I am the same way. I have to buy two of everything so I can keep one for myself. Happy shopping - and swapping!!!

You are lucky your thrift store have some American Girl things. I guess it is because we have so many seniors here and if they buy something it is sent off. Will keep looking though, I might be surprised someday.

My husband bought some neat things at the Dollar Store. I had to bribe one away from him for this swap. Now I'm going to make something to go with it.

Keep looking @widelo123 Even flowers for the dolls hair, hair bands, socks, can be made from something from the Dollar Store. Good luck.

P.S. I wish I could go into the Dollar Store and come out with only spending one dollar. I go crazy in that store!!!

Okay, something from the thrift store, and it can be repurposed. check. Everyione seems to be mentioning clothing type stuff -- we find more things like ... a jewelry box that looks EXACTLY like a nightstand (SCORE!) -- basically, more furniture type items. OKAY?

And ... whomever I have as a partner ... I BLEW IT (I didn't know I'd signed up for this swap ...what a geek I am!) .... so I'm a day or two late from the deadline, but I'm ON IT! As soon as I know who you are, I'm sending you a package! Tomorrow! (In time for the deadline!) ... So sorry ....

sweidentha 08/22/2013 #
